COOPERSTOWN, N.Y.-Sunday, former BYU baseball star, pitcher Jack Morris, was enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N.Y.

He is the first former Cougar to be accepted into the Baseball Hall of Fame per byucougars.com.

Morris, a four-time World Series champion, matriculated at BYU from 1975-1976 before the Detroit Tigers drafted him in the fifth round of the 1976 MLB Draft.

Morris then played for the Tigers from 1977-1990, helping Detroit capture the 1984 World Series title, downing the San Diego Padres 4-1.

He then helped the Minnesota Twins win the 1991 World Series by downing the Atlanta Braves in seven games.

Next, he went to Toronto and won back-to-back world series in 1992 and 1993 with the Toronto Blue Jays, as they vanquished the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies, respectively.

Morris concluded his career in 1994 with the Cleveland Indians.

In playing his career entirely within the American League, Morris was a five-time All-Star, earning the nod for the AL in the 1981, 1984, 1985, 1987 and 1991 seasons for the Midsummer Classic.

He also led the American League in wins in both the 1981 and 1992 seasons and was the 1983 AL strikeouts leader while with the Tigers.

Morris is still the Major League Baseball record-holder for consecutive opening day starts, taking the mound first every season from 1980-1993.

Other inductees in the Baseball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2018 include outfielder Vladimir Guerrero, pitcher Trevor Hoffman, third baseman Chipper Jones, star slugger Jim Thome and shortstop Alan Trammell, Morris’ longtime teammate in Detroit.

Additionally, veteran sportscaster Bob Costas was honored with the Ford C. Frick Award, the annual award given by the Baseball Hall of Fame to broadcasters.

Longtime Cleveland Indians writer Sheldon Ocker was awarded with the J.G. Taylor Spink Award, annually awarded to a sportswriter for “meritorious contributions to baseball writing.”
